Pozo Digital Emerges as Authentic Source for Hispanic Images PDF Print E-mail

Houston, TX (January 29, 2007) - Hispanic advertising veteran Guadalupe Marmolejo today announces the live launch of her new company, Pozo Digital, the source for authentic Hispanic stock images. Pozo Digital is a state-of-the-category e-commerce site - www.pozodigital.com - that gives advertisers, agencies, design firms and publishers easy access to stock photo images that reflect the true authenticity of the U.S. Hispanic experience.

Pozo Digital uniquely specializes in high-quality stock photos that realistically characterize the culture, faces and lifestyle of the Latino community. As more and more advertisers and publishers try to reach the 42 million U.S. Hispanic consumers, there are relatively few stock image sources that depict this demographic audience. The stock photo market is currently dominated by a few large general-market players with limited inventories of Hispanic images that compete for the three billion dollars currently spent in Hispanic marketing. Mainstream advertisers are also clamoring for more Hispanic images since 72% of U.S. Hispanics are born here.
